### Limitations in the MySQL authenticator (MySQLAuth)
* MariaDB MaxScale supports authentication that uses wildcard matching in
hostnames in the `mysql.user` table of the backend database. For IP address
entries either `%` or `_`-wildcards are accepted, they should not be mixed in
the same entry. For text addresses both wildcards can be mixed.
* Wildcards in text-form hostnames are not supported.
* MySQL old style passwords are not supported. MySQL versions 4.1 and newer use a
new authentication protocol which does not support pre-4.1 style passwords.
